Some of the reviews for this binder say it is made cheaply and has fallen apart with little use. This is a gift for a bride. Is is durable??

It seems pretty durable to me. I just started putting my recipe collection in it. I am using plastic pages in addition to the cardboard/sticky inserts that came with it. I only did this because it is a space saver-as I am sure I will be adding to my collection and the heavy duty plastic sheet protectors are very nice. I am happy with this and think it would make a great gift

I have had mine for a couple of years with what I would say, mediate to heavy use and it's held up well. I just purchased one for my daughter and she loves it. I would purchase this again.

I believe it could be cut and refinished on a sewing machine. It's a little bulky for folding in quarters but could be if you fold and press it down--I'm not sure how big the zipper binder is.

The binder has two sets of three rings. There is a gap between the two sets. Hope this helps.

I feel as if the real question you might be asking is whether or not it "falls" apart. I've had mine for months and I use it often. I've had no issues with durability as of now.

It appears to made very durable. It looks like a very light colored & smooth textured wood. I believe it could be easily stained. It doesn't weigh a lot, but again, I was very impressed with its over all strength. I hesitated to make this purchase for fear the durability wouldn't be good because of the price, however, upon using it, the DID stand holds my dvd's securely in place and preforms much better than the other two that I purchased a few years ago. As I stated before, you may want to stain it if you don't like the light color. I would purchase this item again and would highly recommend it to others. I hope this information has been helpful.

This is bound perfectly. Enough so the pages turn easily but it doesn't come undone. Hope this helps.

It appears to made of similar material as those thin floppy 3-ring binders...it is cheap material, but when folded into this box shape it is reasonably sturdy.

I had also purchased these for my wedding, but my wedding is not until July 2014 so I have not used them yet. However, I gave some to a co-worker and he has used them and said they worked. The paper is very fragile and wouldn't take much to rip. I think for such a large quantity and the price you pay are reasonable. You get what you pay for. Hope this helps and you have good luck with them!

I've had this for a while now and haven't had any trouble with it starting to tear or break apart. It's been a little smashed because it's in the back with my kids, but it still maintains its shape as it did when it was new. I'd call that pretty durable; we've had no issues with it.

I used it to put together a reunion book for my employer. It is time consuming. You must first punch the holes, then you have to put in the binder, the papers, then you must bind it. I have not used it since the books. It does produce nice looking binders :)

It won't stay without help (velcro, large safety pins, etc.). The flap may be good for a few papers and magazines, but none of these caddies stay "unassisted." Even then, my most recent one split at the seams within a month (remote controls, Macbook Air, etc.). The pictured caddy lasted 3 years before it split apart.

The paper is durable enough that flipping back and forth through the months, if done with some care, it will not tear. Also the paper is thick enough that it does not show through to the month following. Not card stock but a better quality printing paper. IMHO

Probably but I was hugely disappointed with the quality (mine was falling apart) so I sent it back. I am a makeup artist and decided to buy a scrapbook tote and I love it! Good luck.

Yes it is, I'm in sales and I put all my Point of sale sheets in this binder. This binder is perfect, has a note pad at the back that you can replace, iPad holder on the front, spots for cards etc. I love it! I searched a lot to find a good one. Very happy with it.

To be honest, I am not really sure if it is or not but what I do know is if you plan to preserve your print on this paper then make sure it is properly encased in something. I pretty sure very few paper can withstand the elements in its rare form. I have printed copies and placed them within a binder and they have lasted for at least two years now and are still in excellent condidtion. I hope this gives you some insight to your question.

After you have used it a bit for certain and depending on how many pages are bound in it. But overall the answer is absolutely. I love it. it is a copy of a binder made by National back in the 60's and the 70's and is great for keeping manuscripts and other material you want to put on your shelf as though it were really bound. I have used many. Just sorry it costs so much; but i still buy them as needed.

It's not like a 3 ring binder. the sheets are bound within the folder with an open top and usually comes with a black sheet insert so there is separation between two items that can share the same plastic insert. You have to look at the different sizes so that anything within that size can fit in the insert. So I think the answer to your question about it holding something that a 3-ring binder would should be a yes, being mindful of having the correct size. Mine hold comic book art, posters, and original production art. And it does it very nicely. I like mine a lot. Hope this helps!
